The RedReader app has been given accessibility status by the graciousness of reddit and will not have to shut down. The dev is not particularly happy about how fellow devs were treated though and still plans on adding lemmy in future. Read the announcement here

Yeah, this has served as a massive wake-up call to a lot of talented devs. It will ultimately result in more talent choosing to focus on the "alternatives," which is good. It's too bad its happening this way, but the process was never going to be pleasant.

If you build your app against a major corporation, they are just a bad earnings call away from destroying your entire world. A lesson I was hoping that Reddit wouldn't be the one to make, but here we are I guess.

Build against open source, every time. Closed source will throw you away
